Peak Hotel ★★★

📍 B144, Karatu

"Having complained about the state of the first hotel we were given we were moved to the Peak hotel. To say it was superb is probably an understatement, it was brilliant. Would recommend for a stop over base hotel if touring Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro. It could also serve as a breaking point if visiting the Serengeti. Will be back again and again."

Africa Safari Karatu ★★★★

"Stayed here for 1 night. Had two connecting rooms. There was construction going on and construction staff was working right outside the balcony and we didn't feel the privacy. This was our 3rd accommodation on our safari and were sort of disappointed with the hospitality, food. Rooms are clean, big. Shower is excellent, doesn't have exhaust so can get very foggy due to steam. There is no Wifi in room and cellular service is spotty. If you need any help from hotel staff /reception there is no telephone in the room or numbers provided in case of emergency. Only way is to run to the reception, which can be up the hill depending on where room is located. Food was average, we ate mostly the buffet ( had good vegetarian options) Service was bit slow. Its about 1-1.5 hour from the Ngorongoro crater. Road to the lodge is dusty and bumpy. If you are planning to travel with people having mobility issues, plan ahead. The restaurant, pool and reception are up on the up hill. We didn't see any golf carts to help with transportation. Views are great, was able to enjoy the sunset. Pool is outdoors we didn't use it. Hotel was very busy due to high tourist season."
